@davepl1968 one-off payment yes (we do this already, it's in the price of the pc) and it should last forever. Anything else no.

@TechOperator Today it's also great for moving files between old DOS machines (there is a parallel version), new windows machines (USB) and early Macs (SCSI)

Because so many people mentioned this.
Here is the problem(s) with Grokipedia as it stands, and also just copying Wikipedia:

1) There is no way to know if Grok has changed something subtle, or it's 100% verbatim. There is no message to that effect.
Saying "Fact checked by Grok 2 days ago" is the encyclopedic equivalent of "trust me bro".
Bottom of the page says "The content is adapted from Wikipedia". HOW "adapted" is it? Is it a 100% copy? 99%, 90%? What's changed and how?

2) Grokipedia ends up as a mix of copying Wikipedia and completely rewriting everything. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

3) Grokipedia seems to leave out images.

4) Grokipedia provides zero traceability to changes. This is the huge benefit of Wikipedia.

5) How does someone change Grokipedia if they detect an error or want to add something. Yeah yeah, "that's the point" you say, it stops bad actors from getting their hands on it. Well, it also stops good actors from contributing, which, if you aren't talking about anything sociopolitical, that's a bad thing.
Does Wikipedia still remain the main source of human change until Grok crawls it again? Or will Grok independently just update it as it find new references itself?

6) This could be an early issue, but should be noted: some 100% copied pages have references (see "Transistor"), whilst others do not have any references (see "Miller Effect").

Computer Science is not science, and it's not about computers. Got reminded about this gem from MIT the other day
